Just back

Quoted from 123614

I'm disabled and live in Barton, I cannot attend BP or any other stadium because of the disabilities I have.  I watch every match on Mariners TV and donate money to the club as and when I can afford it.  Does that satisfy your question?

It does, thank you. My wife is disabled & would love to come to games with me but it’s just not possible.

The reason I asked was that what you are hearing on the board is becoming representative on how many supporters who go week in & week out are feeling.

Quoted from Hagrid

Ginny helped build the fanzone, and has gone for years and years

Im rapidly falling out of love with football in general, it doesnt give me a release from other avenues as it once did. Im in the position- like Ginny- of not renewing my ST next season should we go down. I’ve had a season ticket since i was 8 years old. I’m 28 now, doesnt mean I wont still be a fan.

I go to the football in the main to be happy, to feel part of something, to detach from a life where in the main im very troubled and very lonely. Im at the point now where I go to the game and come away feeling worse.

You shouldnt be so aggressive to people Bear, everyone has their own reasons

Love your post . Life is bloody hard at the moment for working class people with a family . Football at Blundell park  hasn’t made me happy for years . It’s depressing in its self , it’s soul destroying trying to get behind something that doesn’t move forward . I’m old fashioned and I don’t count non league success as anything other than a given ( that play off campaign was brilliant) but it wasn’t at BP . BP for the most part is a depressing dump . Bit like me I guess

And I am seeing all the games they see, also all the away games that some of them maybe don't see.  

I'm sorry to hear of your wife's disability, life sucks sometimes.

must be terrible for the fans that started watching Grimsby only in the last 20 years. Its been abject failure after abject failure.

Take Hagrid for example, cant even remember when we were a Division 1 team but probably remembers post double relegation years, Slade, nick Laws, Buckley Reborn and the 8 straight defeats.......

Depressing stuff

when will things finally settle at this club ???

It's anti football. If we could get it right it will be amazing. You have to work towards it though. One of the big reasons we get caught so much and can't play it is the front 3 have no threat in behind, all decent players but no pace. It allows any team we are playing against to squeeze right up, we can't beat the press and the pinch the ball off us 25 yards from our goal.
Had we had Vernam, Pyke or Wilson on yesterday they would've had to defend deeper, there would've always been a option to put the ball in behind which would give us more space to play in. The current idea is suicide against any team that can press.

Absolutely spot on. That and the fact only Rose can head it out of our attacking players means that it’s very difficult to go long so in effect we’re stuck.

Someone else mentioned it but Rodgers and Maher slowly passing the ball back across to each other with neither of them having the böllocks to run forward into any space created or to attempt a pass forward when space is created means we just do nothing. Like you say, it’s suicidal.

I'm disabled and do make the effort to attend BP when the conditions are right for my health. I was probably 1 of the few people at the London Stadium, for the promotion game, who was cold throughout and exhausted from walking from the tube station to the stadium.

BP has an area for the disabled and I'm sure that if you took the time, planned in advance and spoke to the office at BP arrangements could be made to accommodate you.

I am pretty reserved in my judgement normally but I'm well p*ssed off with the lot of them manager, players and board so what the more vocal's thoughts are , are more than that I imagine .

Think I will take a break from Town & the fishy for a bit tbh - It's not a healthy hobby sometimes .

Quoted from 123614

Lol, you're joking right?  It's not me that said I'm "fooking the team off", I'm not, because I am a true supporter who has supported this team for 73 years.  I'm not happy that we are losing games so often, but frustrated, no.  I live in hope that we can still move up the table a little more to make ourselves safe in League Two.

As to "blindly lashing out at people", anyone who gives up the ghost and says they hope we get relegated, is not a true supporter to me, and I will let him know, as I have already done.

Oh and btw, are you the forum police?  Who do you think you are to suggest I should stay off this forum for a while!  And another thing, you cannot determine a mans frame of mind just by reading text on a Forum page.

Nothing more needs to be said.

I still believe you are far too nice to frequent this message board DB. 🙂

But you don’t, being at a game live is totally different to watching it on tv. It’s much more emotional and personal when your sat there watching us continually underperform and demonstrate a total lack of quality. At the game it’s much easier to see options players have to pass the ball or move into a position to receive it. Mariners tv doesn’t facilitate any of this.

Plus the additional pain of sitting in an old run down stadium and that dreaded walk back to your car and drive home after yet another defeat. Ultimately it all eats away at you and your enthusiasm for actually attending diminishes bit by bit week by week. I’ve been going for 60 plus years and will go to the Donny game but lose that and that’s me done for this season and there will be no renewal of my season ticket whichever league we are in.

Your probably the most despised poster on here with your continuous bleating for facts and proof and being critical of anyone who dare say anything negative about the club overlooking the fact this is a forum for opinions, banter, humour and the appropriate level of bullshite. Anyway add me to your list of posters who can feck off and I’ll give you no further thought.
